Scarface Set To Drop First Mixtape

After 11 solo albums, Face Mob announced that he’s geared to release his first mixtape, Dope Man Music this spring.

I always wanted to drop a mixtape on my own. So I just said, ‘Let’s drop an independent mixtape.’ I feel that I should be as an adult and musician and pioneer — that’s what they call me. I feel that I need to move on to another stage with the way I deliver my music to the public. I got a lot of shit and I’m using about 3 percent of what I know about music. I’m not using it all. I’m music. I can play that shit long enough for a real musician to catch it and feel me, where I’m going, and we make magic like that.
